Finished Bird’s Nest Complete with Eggs and Fabric Bird

After all the work on my bird nest, I decided to make another for the swap.  I kind of like my bird’s nest in it’s primitive state.  My painted osnaburg bird doesn’t exactly look like a crow, maybe more like a blackbird, with the green eyes and yellow beak.  I like her anyway.

You can see her brown speckled polymer clay eggs tucked inside the handmade nest.

She reminds me of a character in a children’s story, especially from the front (above).

 I’ll put her away for now and decide if I want to place her in a case.  I’m almost done with my nest for the swap.  I made another fabric bird of a different sort.  That nest is in the same finished state as my crow’s nest.  I’ve put them both on the counter while I decide whether to put them into a habitat.
